Enemy pursues

More darkness unfolds

Crushing every breath

Yet, Spirit remains bold

 

God’s light perseveres

Faith’s answers unfold

Sharing steadfast love

Deliverance foretold

 

Mercy shares His truth

Righteousness unfolds

Seeking out God’s will

His comforting hands mold

 

Heart’s new attitude

Brighter times unfold

Clutching God’s wisdom

Promises to behold

 

Safe in His refuge

Faithfulness unfolds

Hearing each prayer

Spirit’s blessings uphold

 

Dark times abating

Life’s new day unfolds

Waiting no longer

God’s connection takes hold

True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

From Galatians 2:20:  “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer.  Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers.  This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

From John 11:14-16:  “I am the good shepherd. I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father.  And I lay down My life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.  I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice.  So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”

Nothing makes us more uncertain and insecure than not being sure we are in the will of God.  And nothing is more encouraging than knowing for sure that we are.

From 1 John 2:17:  “And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God abide forever.”

Charles Stanley Quote

A passion to obey God doesn’t come naturally.  Salvation may spark love and a desire to please Him, but a passionate fire is built slowly from the timbers of spiritual knowledge, faith, and devotion.

From Romans 6:22-23:  “But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the fruit you have leads to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.

From Luke 12:40:  “You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) was an American pastor and Christian author.

From 1 Timothy 6:10:  “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.”

Many pursue worldly riches

Studying today’s balance sheet

Counting every single dollar

Sadly, sailing away from God’s fleet

 

Darkness harbors each earthly thought

Bending to desire . . . needing more

Chasing abundance without peace

Another day posts wealth’s losing score

 

Jesus speaks with Father’s wisdom

Holding eternity’s treasure

Teaching man to follow His light

Salvation’s gift fills mercy’s ledger

 

Enlightened spirit today sails

Sharing deposits of His grace

Leaving sinful journey behind

Jesus navigates faith to hope’s place

From Mark 6:35-37:  “For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.  For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?  Indeed, what can they give in return for their life?”

There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.

From Matthew 10:39:  “Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake will find it.”

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author.  During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.
